A Possible Move For Joleon Lescott In January?

Name: Joleon Lescott
Age: 30
Previous clubs: Wolves, Everton
Current club: Manchester City
England caps: 23
Premier League & FA Cup winner with Manchester City.

Im a big fan of Joleon Lescott. He was excellent in his Everton day's and since he's been at Manchester City he's improved even more. However, lately he has been warming the bench at The Etihad. So with the January transfer window opening in a few days and Roberto Mancini still with millions at his disposal, could a move south for Lescott could be possible?

What should we offer?
I think we should offer Manchester City a loan move for the centre back; then agree to pay 60-80% of his wages. 75% of his wages would be £60,000 a week which is good value for money in my opinion.

What would we be getting for our money?
We would be getting a big, strong, world class centre back who knows how to put a big tackle in in an important area. He's not afraid to put his body on the line when it matters most either. Joleon is also a threat in the air and would be able to put up with a big, strong centre forward. He also has Champions League and International experience, something which he could use to our advantage.

Could he fit in?
We need a defender in January to strengthen our back line so Lescott would be the perfect fit. The majority of our squad speak good English and are British so there would be no worries about a language barrier, especially in defence. 

Would it be beneficial for both clubs and the player?
If Joleon Lescott excels at West Ham he could earn a place in City's starting line up come next season. There's plenty of evidence that this works. Steven Caulker spent the 2011/12 season at Swansea where he consistently played well. He returned to Spurs in the summer and is now a regular starter for them. At Upton Park, Lescott has the opportunity to do the same thing. With regular impressive performances, he could catch Mancini's eye. This would make the move worth it for all parties involved.
